Kevin Kelly leaves WWE

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

On Byte This today, Dr. Tom Prichard and Howard Finkel said that Kevin Kelly, who usually hosts the show with Prichard, has left the company to "pursue other opportunities".

 

Kelly had worked in many capacities for the company over his career, including as an announcer, in talent relations, on the WWE website, as well as in the production end of Confidential.

God, first we loose Raven, then D'Lo, then Edge, then ANGLE, and now...

 

...and NOW...

 

...KEVIN KELLY!?

 

I can't take much more.

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

I never cared much for Kelly, but I used to love when the Rock would talk crap to him and make him pick his nose or do something stupid.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

Darn. That sucks. I always liked Kevin Kelly.

[Guest snuffbox]

Nooooo! It cant be!

I never cared for him as an announcer or as an interviewer. I heard he did amazing things in ECWA, but I just can't picture it.

[Guest The Superstar]

And the former ECWA Champion (!!!!!) bites the dust. Oh well.

[Guest Miss Indy Queen]

Wow I'm surprised by this. I wonder why he left. I know he'll be at the Super 8 again this year.

[The Dames 0]

Maybe they really need guys in the Super 8 this year.

He and Foley did probably one of the funniest commentaries of a match I've ever heard (Kennel from Hell match on Foley's DVD).

That and his stuff with the Rock is all I really remember..

[Guest Miss Indy Queen]

Well he's not going to be in the Super 8, he's just going to be at the show. Usually he helps out with the booking of the Super 8 and some of their shows.

....Once again...it was a joke.

I couldn't even listen to Byte This to hear this big announcement. I was listening to theme music being played before 4pm est with a green screen, then a Rock/Hurricane promo was playing. I figured if I downloaded WMP 9 like the website says I'm supposed to, the green screen would be replaced by video. Well, I do that, install, get the codecs, install, click on Byte This... NOTHING. Now nothing plays.

 

Stupid WMP and stupid WWE.com (none of the videos on the site will work for me... though the rarely did in the past)

[Guest Eagan469]

bye Hermie

[Guest Phoenix Fury Legdrop]

Good riddance...I heard the guy was a prick to indy guys who didn't work for Jim Kettner (he organized tryout matches).

[Guest bob_barron]

Looks like we know what NWATNA's suprise is next week!

[Guest HartFan86]

I never really had a problem with Kelly...ah well. They come, they go.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

I always liked his bickering with Dr. Tom on Byte This. I wonder if he was fired or if he really quit.

 

I can't see him quitting because he has been there for so long in so many different capacities.

 

Byte This was unusually short today. I wonder if it had anything to do with KK's exit.

[Guest Rob Edwards]

I've not really got anything good or bad to say about the guy

 

umm I quite enjoyed it when Austin beat him up at Unforgiven in 2000 I guess.

[Rob E Dangerously 0]

I blame (insert bad guy here)

 

Kevin Kelly was held down by Michael Cole

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I just hope this doesn't ruin their relationship with the ECWA, cause I know they did most of their dealing through Kelly.

[Guest wwF1587]

his stuff with the rock was classic... i will always remember when he had kelly put his finger in his nose while the rock talked... hilarious stuff

[Guest tank_abbott]

Nailz left the WWE?

 

/kiddin'

[Guest tank_abbott]

On a serious note... Kelly has been a valued employee of the WWF for 6+ years... I bet this loss hurts them on the same level as losing Craig DeGeogre and dare I say Sean Mooney?

[Guest papacita]

Dang...I still owe him a slap in the face from 98.

 

Oh well.

[Guest papacita]

Craig DeGeogre

Who?

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Maybe Vince found out who was hiding in the closets and under the tables calling Dave and 1Bob for every little thing?

 

Kevin Kelly = Big Ol' Snitch!

[Guest Repo Man jr]

Craig DeGeogre

Who?

I used to think he was called "Greg The George", but that makes more sense!

 

He was Sean Mooney version 1.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Maybe Vince found out who was hiding in the closets and under the tables calling Dave and 1Bob for every little thing?

 

Kevin Kelly = Big Ol' Snitch!

 

Nobody likes a rat. That'd be great if he was the one who leaked out all of the backstage altercations.

[Guest Brian]

You guys don't give Tazz, Heyman, and Ross enough credit.
